I have planted lychee stones which had germinated and grown into a 3 inch plant. However the leaves have now dooped and look as though they are going to fall. Any thoughts?

RE: lychees

There is an ongoing debate about this in the French language forum. The consensus of opinion seems to be that they are fairly easy to germinate but difficult to keep alive in winter. They need heat, sunlight and water, all year.

They need high humidity and acidic soil, but are also sensitive to over-watering, particularly in winter. Use a well-drained acidic soil and water frequently but allowing them to get nearly dry between waterings.
